Some outrageous things are done 10y
officials vested with judicial functions
There is a story of case in Louisiana
parish where, when the Supreme Court
of the State had refused to reverse "a
decision which consigned criminal to
capital punishment the police jury of
the parish took up the matter and an
nulling all DEGREES set the man free.
We do not youch for the story how
eyer.-Picayune
Well the Picayune ought to vouch for
it, and then swear that Gov. McEnery
was the president of that police jury
Thibodaux Sentinel.
The above is solid fact, except that
the criminal was only sentenced to inn
prisonment in the parish Jail for six
months, and fined three hundred and
five dollars. They released him from
prison, reduced his fine to ssi00 and
gave him twelve months to pay it in

When Gov McEnery appoints such
men as Ex-Secretary of State Strong on
police jnries, he certainly ought to be
responsible for their conduct.

The New Orleans States, reviewing
a long list of proposed candidates for
Governor, seems to have no objection
to any of them but Gen. Nichols. The
objection TO Gen. Nichols is not on ac-
count Of his character, which Is above
reproach; but Oh account OF pre-
sumed grievance" for having been
turned out of the gubernator,al chair
before the expiration OF his term by
the calling of the constitutional con
yention. There may be such a grieE-
ance on the part Of some Of his per-
sonal friends. and on the part OF many
people who prefer his administration to
the ones that have followed; but we
doubt that he ever entertained any
such grievance. About the bill for the
constitutional convention was on Its
passage, a gentleman who was intimate
With both parties informed lis, that
Gov. Nichols could see by LIT. Gov.
Witt actions that the latter thought
the former would be in his way as Il
subernatorial candidate, and that he
took occasion at once to inform him of
his error. The impression made on us
at the time was that Gov. Nichols was
willing to be relieved of the Office. We
doubt if he is now eager to have it. If
nut in it, he will administer it for the
good of the people. The majority of
the people want him in it; and they
will put him in it, if their will is not
overridden by the politicians manipu-
latiug the conventions.

SENATOR INGALLS, ON THE
PRESIDENT.

1t was something to see 4 man who
had never been to Washington but
once before enter the Senate Chamber
with perfect selfpossession, in com
pany with MI. Arthur, that polished,
sef-poised gentleman. The leading
men of the day were present. The gal
1eIies were full of distinguished peo-
pie. Amid such Surroundings, he cool
" took his seat beside Mr.. Arthur, with
every eye, every opera glass centured
on him. He looked neither embarrassed
nor nervous in the least. He never
moved during that half honr OF prelim-
mary exercise--not his hand nor his
foot. He did not wink oftener than
usual he might have been bronze for
any effect the inspection seemed TO
produce. He then moved out TO the
front, where he took the oath of Office
and delivered the first inaugural ever
heard pronounced without manuscript.
He stood there and delivered that
harangue OF dogmatic platitudes with
out any attempt at oratory. He is per-
fectly self-reliaDt. No one but Grover

Free trade and protection appear to
be knotty points with you. There is
great clamor among the tree traders
hoping for America to adopt the prin-
ciple. | am not very sanguine as to
what the result would be. AT present
America by her protectionist duties
kets, but, if trade were entirely free,
the energy, enterprise and skill of the
Americans would very soon come into
dangerous competition with our En-
glish manufactures. 1t is, therefore.
best for us to leave things as they are.
The above is an extract from a pri-
vate letter from England, published in
the City Item. The American manu-
facturers, instead of going into the
markets of all the world and competing
with foreign manufacturers, prefer to
have a limited market at home with
forced high prices. American consum-
ers are compelled. by a high protective
tariff, to buy from American mannfac-
turers at unreasonable and oppressive
high prices-thIs may be good for the
manufacturers, but it is very bad for the
consumers. The manufacturers do not
think charity should begin at home, on
their part; but they take good care to
force American consumers of their
manufactures to practice that kind of
charity, which they renounce.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-02-05

Boston Herald: Mr.. Hiscook's tariff
bill aims at exhausting the treasury
surplus, without materially relieving
the people from the burden of taxation.
Those who indulge in the habit of
smoking and chewing tobacco are the
ones whose trials have chiefly drawn
apon them the commlseration of the
New York congressman. Following
these are the patent medicines and
perfumes in the compromising OF which
alcohol has to be used ; then there is
slight abatement on the tax on sugar,
which might help the consumers of the
article it it were not coupled with
bounty to the producers Of all kinds of
domestic sugar, the result OF which
would be the aforesaid sugar consum-
ers pay out ill unnecessary taxes, quite
as much as, and perhaps more than, the
abatement in the tariff tax amounts to-
1t is species of keeping the word OF
promise to the ear to break it to the
hopes. How thorough the Republican
party policy is dominated by the veal
thy monopolists is strklngly shown in
the selfish and inequitable character of
this bill. From first to last it indicates
an effort to save certain large special
interests, which have been for years
past sustained by the taxes OF the peo-
pie. Not the least regard is shown for
the welfare OF the latter; no sensible
Communication of their burdens is pro-
posed but in place of it they are asked
to take cheap tobacco, and it the Re-
publicans had the courage, they would
be requested to accept the offer OF free
rum.

A LITTLE MORE CROPPING.

If the "reform'' press of the State
would urge a little more cropping IN
their parishes and have less to say IN
condemnation OF Gov. McEnery for
calling agricultural conventions when
solicited by the people to 80 do. per-
haps their subscription lists might
take bo0m.-Lake Charles Echo.
Most of the stuff on farming pub
lishcd by editors who never handled a
pillow, or a hoe, is mere trash, drawn
from their imagination, and never
tested by experiment. Practical farm
ers pay no attention to such cropping
articles, and have a mild contempt for
literary farmers with no farming eX-
perience. of course there is so crime
in Gov. McEnery's calling agricultural
conventions. He has the same right to
call lailroad convention, a merchants
convention, u steamhOatsmeu's conven-
ton, IL longshoresmen's convention, Il
drinking saloon keepers convention,
and conventions Of all other callinss
and occupations. But is it becoming
that the Governor should champion one
or several occupations, especially when
there are antagonisms between some OF
these occupations which require legls-
lative regulation The farmers WANT
relief from the railroad: will the Gov
ernor urge the Legislature to pass
bill reducing railroad fare and freight
Will the Governor go into farmers
nd .I,iL y VIII h..
go into a railroad con vention and prom
Use the contrary2 The Governor has as
much right to promise one class as an
other, and if he promises all, or several,
he may make contradictory promises.
4 farmers convention should be
composed of practical farmers, and OF
none other. Esthetical agricultural
conventions are of no practical value
whatever. The great mass of farmers
never attend them if they had the i'll
clination, they have neither the time
nor the money to do so. They furnish
however for dilettant
farmers to spend their money and have
a good time, and for politicians to
get in their work.
The recollection of Gov. McEnery's |
levee convention which preceded the
last State election makes some people |
shy of the conventions he is now call |
ing-why are these conventions called |
just before State political campaign,
and not just after?

St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-02-05

The people of Pennsylvania are sup
posed to be largely in favor of the pro-
posal to abolish the internal revenue,
both because of their interest in the to-
bacco and whiskey manufacture, which
will thus be relieved of tax. because OF
their iron and other manufactures,
which will continue to be protected by
the present high duties. 1t probably is
true that the majority OF pennSylva
MIA votes favor the Republican scheme
to reduce the national revenue surplus
by taking Oft the internal revenue taxes !;
but this is by no means certain, not
withstanding the Republican majority
in the State. The temperance scnti-
ment which is ii growing one, is wholly
hostile to cheap whiskey and tobacco.
The sensible people of the State who
may be supposed to be in a majority,
will not fail to see that, since taxes
must he imposed they can be most
justly put upon articles which are not
only luxurious but which are, in their
abuse at least physically injurious. No
one will question the evils which flow
from the free use OF wliskey and to-
bacco, aud the cheaper they are the
freer will be their use. Therefore it is
to the public interest to make them as
dear as possible; and the highest col
lectable tax that be can imposed should
be put upon Intoxicating liquors used
as beverage, on tobacco used in chew
ing. smoking and snuffiDg, even though
10 better use could be had of the re-
sultant revenue than to throw it into

The Shreveport Journal has long
article defending McEnery against a
charge made by some papers that the
coming agricultural convention was
gotten up for political purposes. IT we
were delegate We would attend the
convention and would expect 10 go
there with stamina enough TO he above
tile influence OF designing politicians.
No doubt however that politics will be
talked and discussed more at this con-
vention than farming, but the Reform
faction can have men there to repre-
sent THEN side The fears Of some of
our exchanges that the McEnesy fac
ton will make political capital out OF
the farmers convention is doubtless
due to the fact that the levee conven-
ton, COTTON up before last cteetioD was
used mainly TO boom McEnery. II we
are to have Il farmers convention To ad-
vance the interest Of agriculture in
this State, the politicians ought to stay
away and let the farmers run the con
vention 10 suit themselves. They do
not need any addresses from men who
know nothing about farming. Let
them state their needs themselves and
then we will be willing to iegislate in
their favor afterwards. We heard a
prominent farmer Of this parish who is
president of one of our Farmers AL
lance Clubs say he would not attend
the farmers convention because politi-
clans were taking too much stock in it
and he thought they would make q
farce of it.-Minden Democrat Tribune

Madras Curfains.

The present fancy IN curtains is for tbA
various styles, qualities and patterns that
come under the general head of Madras
goods" Some of the new crepe Madras
goods have fine tinsel in the tiniest fiecks, but
this is not regarded as in any sense a novelty
it having appeared last season. The arrange
ment of the metal is somewhat novel, and for
this and for the exquisite combination and
blending of the many tints the new goods are
worthy of the highest praise.
The favorite colors are of q somewhat sub
dued order. Brown in almost every shade,
the entire range of olive, myrtle and sage
greens, copper, mandarin and every shade of
yellow, a very little light blue, dashes of red
mostly verging on garnet, rosewood and
maroon, old rose, OF faded rose as it is called,
brick color and all of the variations Of these
shades are found in the best assOrtments of
these goods that are now coming from foreign
looms.

SUBSCRIPTIONS :
ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Up Stairs, Down Stairs in Kitchen and
in the Ladies' Parlor.
An excellent way to dust room is to begin
with the walls Pin or tie several thicknesses
of cloth over a broom and sweep the walls
down thoroughly, leaving at the same time
all the doors and windows open. This matter
Of sweeping the walls is an important one; if
you don't believe it examine the cloths after
the cleaning has been done. The walls swept
down, it is next in order to wipe off with
damp cloth the backs of all the picture
frames and the tops of the door and window
frames. At least once every week get a good
draft, which viii carry the dust out of the
window; then shake the curtains and beat all
the upholstered furniture, for these are prime
sinners in the matter of harboring dust.
The window sash, sill and glass ought all
to receive attention. Remember that room
is not thoroughly busted until all the furni-
ture, wood work and gas fixtures have been
cleaned. Rooms that are thoroughly swept
aud busted once every week require but lit
tie extra labor when that grand and very
troublesome household upheaval, known as
"house cleaning" occurs.

The Indians, about 200 strong, assembled
the other day on Mckay creek, near the
county road leading to Pilot rock, to com
memorate the death OF young Indian
named Barnhart, who had his feet frozen
of several winters ago and died from the
effects of it about this time last year. A
wigwam about a hundred feet long was
crowded with the friends Of the deceased,
who offered up gifts 20 his memory, con
sisting of ponies, blankets, money, cloth
ing and other valuableS. The mother of
young Barnhart the deceased, received
twenty ponies, a large number of blankets,
some money and a great quantity Of other
chattels from sympathetic friends. Others
of the Indians were remembered by their
friends also. 1t was an imposing spectacle
to see them sitting around the sides of the
wigwam, silent and dignified. In one and
stood an aged man calling out the names
of parties receiving presents, and in the
other end of the wigwam an aged woman
repeating his words in a voice which added

Ventilation without Draurbt.

The following cheap and simple method has
been found very satisfactory in solving the
troublesome problem-how to secure fresh air
in a room without exposing the inmates to
draughts Nail or screw a neat strip Of wood
from one to two inches wide-upon the
window sill just inside the sash and extending
across the window. Upon the top Of the strip
fasten a piece of weather strip" so that there
will be formed an air tight joint between the
weather strip and the lower sash of the win
dow, whether the latter is closed or raised an
inch or two. the lower cross piece of the sash
sliding on the rubber of the weather strip as
the sash rises. With this fixture the lower
sash may be raised enough to admit air be-
tween the lower and upper sashes without ad-
hitting the least air at the bottom Of the
window. The air thus entering is thrown up
ward and has its "chiIl taken off" before de-
scending upon the heads Of the occupants Of
the room

market was extremely active in the
forenoon, but was heavy throughout
the day, Fo Worth andsDenyer being
